What is medical negligence?

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional, such as a doctor, nurse, or surgeon, fails to provide the correct standard of care, causing harm to the patient. This can take many forms, including errors in diagnosis, mistakes during surgery, or improper treatment. The impact of such negligence can be significant, leading to long-term health issues or a prolonged recovery.

Common cases of medical negligence include delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, incorrect medication prescriptions, and failures during childbirth that result in injury to the mother or child. If you believe you have suffered due to the mistakes of a healthcare provider, legal action may help secure the compensation needed for your recovery.
